I think the bloopers thing has gotten old myself.
Bugs Life (if i recall) was the first to do it. Which was cool, and neat
for those of us (like myself) who stayed for the credits. Reminded me of
old flicks like Canonball Run

However when Toy Story II did it, it was a bunch of lame fart jokes.

Monsters Inc did a better job, but they were still ho-hum. The "irony"
of cartoon bloopers had worn itself out... I'm glad they didn't do it
for finding Nemo, time to move on.

Yeah, I liked the Monsters Inc credits; the "Put that thing back where
it came from or so help me" bit.

Exactly.

The thing that makes real bloopers funny is that someone actually screwed up.

The problem with cartoon bloopers is that the blooper is typically staged.
Unless you are very creative and humorous at the same time, you're not going to
be able to think up something that's really original, funny, and seemingly
genuine all at the same time.

Most staged cartoon bloopers are as much fun to watch as a staged football play
of an XFL game. It's obvious why that didn't last very long. - Reinhart

They mention on the Nemo commentary that they thought the bloopers
gag had gone as far as it could, and that the success of the company
play at the end of Monster's Inc. inspired them to try something new
during the credits for Nemo.

Actually, In a sense, they can...
Watch the real bloopers for Shrek. You'll see some pretty F'ed up
Renderings. And having done 3D animation myself. I can assure you that
weird things can happen when you least expect it (ie. Clothes going one
way, person going the other).
I had a friend who did a quick animation of a guy running.
Midway through the run, the arms suddenly stopped their movement, froze
dead, while the guy kept running. It was silly, and an easy mistake
forgetting to have the shoulder rotations continue for the last frames.
But it was funny. we constantly bug him to this day about it. (Guess you
had to be there.)

But for a CGI character to forget their lines. Umm, no. unless they took
bloopers from the voice actors, and animated them. Now that would be
neat. Ever hear the thundercat outtakes.. Hilarious. Do a google search
if interested.

What's your source on the XFL being "staged?" Please, tell me when
has Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr. come out and ever said it was
"staged."
